Gloucester woman Kate Fry attached herself to the entry gate of AGL’s controversial coal seam gas project yesterday morning in an attempt to peacefully prevent the fracking of four coal seam gas wells.
Ms. Fry said, “I’m not just doing this for Gloucester, I’m doing it for everyone. I’m willing to get arrested trying because the Government has sacrificed Gloucester. We are the last defence to protect this beautiful place from invasive gasfields.”
AGL will hold its AGM in Sydney today and further protests are expected.
